(More ways to prevent condensation discussed below.)ĭon’t do it! Seriously, when a motor is too large to store indoors, then it is likely to be a very expensive machine. Unless the storage area is climate-controlled, prevent condensation from forming inside the motor by energizing the space heaters (when supplied) to keep the windings 5-10 C above the ambient temperature. Place horizontal machines in a horizontal position and vertical motors in a stable vertical position. When possible, store motors indoors in a clean, dry area. Motors slated for several weeks to several years in storage (as well as all above-NEMA-sized machines) require additional preparations to protect their machined surfaces, bearings and windings.
